Mrs. Zhang's nonsense aroused the confusion and confusion of her family. In her dying moments, was everything she said just meaningless words, or did she hide a deeper inner truth? When our loved ones come to the end of their lives, can we listen to them with kindness and understand their inner world?
In fact, the dying "gibberish" is not meaningless. Experts call this a "near-death experience," a phenomenon that often occurs before death, in which older people hallucinate or relive memories of the past. Although this phenomenon is confusing, it has a certain explanation in psychology.
First of all, the "gibberish" of the elderly before their death may be a review and expression of important events or emotions in their lives. As Mrs. Zhang frequently mentioned on her deathbed, the "cat" actually represents a past between her childhood and her neighbor Qiu Xiang. This true inner thought may be an emotion that has been pent-up over the years, released and expressed through the words of death.
Secondly, the "gibberish" of the elderly before their death may also be a catharsis of unfulfilled wishes or knots. Like the dissatisfaction and fear expressed by Mrs. Zhang for her neighbor Qiu Xiang on her deathbed, it is actually a long-standing regret in her heart. In this way, she was able to release her inner dissatisfaction and fear, seeking peace and tranquility of mind.
Finally, the "gibberish" of the elderly before their death may also be a reflection of their physical and mental state. As death approaches, the brain function of an elderly person may be affected, leading to incoherence in speech and behavior. Therefore, we should not simply dismiss the words of the elderly before their death as meaningless, but should listen, understand and tolerate with a kind heart.
When faced with the "gibberish" of the elderly before they die, we should be patient and understanding, and respect their inner feelings and expressions. Through listening and companionship, we are able to help the elderly release their inner emotions and give them true peace and tranquility in their final moments. This is also our responsibility and obligation as younger generations, so that our loved ones can be fulfilled and satisfied in the last days of the world.
